A recent community alert highlights the risks of transporting insect swarm cargo from HIP 118311, currently sold at Lubbock Market. While small amounts may be used for pranks, larger swarms can devastate entire dodec systems if released. Commanders are advised to carefully inspect cargo containers for damage before storage and to follow emergency protocols if the swarm escapes inside their ship. Recommended actions include jumping to a white dwarf or neutron star system and venting the cargo hatch in the jet cone to sterilize the swarm. This warning underscores an emergent gameplay hazard shared by the Elite Dangerous community.
- Inspect insect swarm cargo containers for damage before storing.
- If swarm escapes, jump to a white dwarf or neutron star and vent cargo hatch for sterilization.
